“It's uncanny—he's never out of place.” Jimmy Connors

Tennis players on Roger Federer that show why he is one of the Greatest Of All Time in sports

1. [Federer] ...is the most beautiful man to watch play tennis. The most beautiful I've ever seen play. His movement, combined with the artistry, his racquet, the look, he's got everything going. - John McEnroe

2. For me Roger is the greatest player ever who played the tennis game. It’s always good to see him play and win and we are going to see so much more of Federer in the future; he is going to win more grand slam tournaments. - Bjorg Borg

5. Today I was playing my best tennis, trying lots of different things, but nothing worked. When you're playing like that and he still comes up with all those great shots you really have to wonder if he's even from the same planet. - Novak Djokovic (swipe to see the second video)

6. If he is playing very good, I have to play unbelievable. If not, it’s impossible, especially if he’s playing with good confidence. When he’s 100 percent, he’s playing in another league. It’s impossible to stop him. I fight. I fight. I fight. Nothing to say. Just congratulate him. - Rafael Nadal

7. Well, I think when I look at Roger, I mean, I'm a fan. I mean, I'm a fan of how he plays, what he's about, just the fact that I think he's a class—I don't know him personally, but seems like he's a class guy on and off the court. He's fun to watch. Just his athletic ability, what he's able to do on the run. I think he can and will break every tennis record out there. - Pete Sampras, winner of 14 Grand Slams.

and

The Greatest? I have to give it to him. The critics say Laver, and Nadal’s beaten him a few times, but in my book he is. - Pete Sampras
